If I knew how to post an attachment on here, I would, but I don't. So, here is a copy and paste of an article Mina wrote for The Cannonball Courier.

I am having my humans writewhat I dictate to them. If you see any spelling mistakes, don’t blame the dog!Winter may seem like a strangetime to introduce people to my favoritepastime, geocaching. I spent most ofmy free time involved with it, but anyexcuse for me to get out onto theCannonball Trail is acceptable.Geocaching is often describedas high-tech treasure hunting.All you need to do it is:1. A geocaching.com account(basis membership is free)2. A GPS, or smart phone withthe official geocaching app($9.99)3. A writing instrument of yourchoice to sign the log sheetsof the caches you find.4. A geodog (optional, but recommended)To find a cache near you, all you need to do is perform a search at thewebsite and enter the coordinates into you machine. Then, off you go! Mostsections of the Trail can be accessed easily from where the roads cross them.In most instances you would unlikely have to travel father than a half mile fromyour parking area to a geocache.Some caches are really small, like a matchstick holder or magnetic keyholder.Others can be as large as an ammo can. The geocaching site oftenlists the size of the cache so you know what you are looking for. There is alsoa difficulty rating system (1-easy to 5-hard) as well as a terrain rating system(1-wheelchair accessible to 5-needs a boat or to climb a tree. All caches arerated using this system. Both terrain and caches on the Trail usually merit a 2rating. But that does not matter to us geodogs. We go straight to the cache(unless a wild critter distracts us). There are almost 250 caches on the WCT.If you have any questions about geocaching you can contact myhumans, Mike and Sheryl at: Geocaching.com: ID:TeamMina or Emailshadowcountry@hotmail. comNow if you will excuse me I have some pizza crust waiting for me.
